The correct statement regarding electrophile is

  1. electrophile is a negatively charged species and form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from another electrophile
  2. electrophiles are generally neutral species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile
  3. electrophile can be either neutral or positively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile
  4. electrophile is a negatively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile.

Answer

(3) electrophile can be either neutral or positively charged species and can form a bond by accepting a pair of electrons from a nucleophile

Solution

As per NCERT, a reagent that takes away an electron pair is called an electrophile (electron-seeking).

Electrophiles may be positively charged (carbocation, NO2+) or neutral with an electron-deficient centre (carbonyl carbon, BF3, AlCl3).

They form a bond by accepting an electron pair from a nucleophile.

Answer: (3)
